IMPORTED nOMEsrIC CIGARS.

WASHINGTON, May assistant Sec
rotary of the Treasury Maynard has in.
structed the officers of the customs to
see that domestic cigars exported for the
purpose of being reimported are not ad.
mitted to entry under the provisions Of
Section $500, but to request them to be
turned over to the Collectors of Internal
Revenue for such procedure as may be
found e~xpedient under the Internal
Revenue laws.
This action is based on the informa.
tion that a system exists Of sending
cigars manufactured in San Francisco to
Victoria, B. c., and then returning them
to San Francisco under the provisions
of Section $500 of the Revised Statutes.
They are then stamped with custom
stamps bearing the words Domestic
cigars, reimported." A good market for
these cigars is found in st. Louis,
where they are usually sold as imported
cigars. The purchasers see the import
stamps, but fail to notice the inscription
thereon.

in a very forcible manner. Rev. j.
Aaron Moore (colored) took a stand on
the street, shotgun in hand, and as
Willie Taylor, a colored youth of 20,
approached, the parson leveled his gun
and would have shot the boy had he not
lodged behind a white man. The par
son and the boy were arrested and taken
before the Mayor. who learned that the
irate minister charged Taylor with the
ruin of his eighteen-year.old daughter.
Emma. A license was procured, and
the young couple were married by the
Mayor. Taylor is a son of a deacon in
the parsons church.

DEVILS KINDLING
WOO d.


Temperance advocates have, probably,
builded better than they knew in char.
acterizing cider as "the DEVILS kindling
wood" For it often not only creates
an alcoholic appetite, but as an alcoholic
beverage it ranks far higher, or lower,
according to opinion on the subject-in
the list than is popularity believed.
Cider is usually regarded as a harmless
beverage, when comparison is made
with the beverages usually dispensed in
saloons. But Prof. Chandler has made a
table giving the percentage OF alcohol in
hard cider as compared with twelve
brands of ale, porter and beer, native
and imported, which were submitted to
him for analysis. He found more al.
cohol in the cider than in any Of the
articles named. In cider at it's worst the
percentage Of alcohol is twice as high as
in lager beer. Cider, therefore, is not as
much of a temperance drink as lager

THE COMsTOCK BOOM.

The Enterprise says: The boom may
be delayed but it is bound to come;
and most persons are of the opinion
that when it does come it will be some
thing more than a boomlet.
The work preparatory to the erection
of the new water mill in the southern
part of the city is being pushed vigor.
ously, as many men being employed as
can be used to advantage. The stone
foundation will soon be put in and
meantime the timber work will be pro.
ceeded with.
The four Pelton water wheels to be
put into the c. & G. shaft will furnish
about l,OOO-horse power at the surface.
Each wheel will be eleven feet in di.
ameter and will be Of 250.horse power.
This power being transmitted from wheel
to wheel from the Sutro tunnel level up,
will give the power stated, namely,
1000 horse at the surface.
When the water mills go into opera
tion, we shall, to a great extent, take a
new departure on the Comstock in min
ing and milling; whether the powers
that be will "turn things loose until
that departure is taken remains to be
seen. Various maneuvers disconnected
with the mere milling of ores appear to
be progressing, and just what those who
are guiding events are after does moi
very plainly appear. Certain it is, that
there are those who want no boom at the
present time.
